  Don't go out of your way providing candy, water, etc. It is hard enough to make ends meet without trying to bribe pax for tips. Most won't tip becuase of candy anyways.

   6 years ago in  As Uber and Lyft drivers, what are your pet peeves about your passengers, and what do you do about them?

  The ones that just assume I owe them - "where is your car charger?" "can I have a water?" "Turn to station X." You are paying for a RIDE not a full service fun-mobile.

   6 years ago in  Uber Strike?

  Oh, and they also sent me this text message:

  Hello dear Rider: I’m so sorry to CANCEL this TRIP but I’m on a GIG STRIKE basically because Riders and Drivers are getting screwed by Ride-Share Companies like Uber&Lyft by using Upfront Fares to charge more to customer like YOU while lowering Drivers earnings like ME. If you feel like the SERVICE we provide is getting WORSE is because that and other issues that maybe you know about. Please help us (and you) to claim for a better service and call, text, twit or email Uber and Lyft demanding your and our rights to have a BETTER RIDE-SHARE SERVICE. If you want to know more about our demands go to #UberWeekStrike #PayDriversFare #LyftWeekStrike

   6 years ago in  Who gets to ride shotgun?

  This is the longest post on seating etiquette I have ever read. I dislike when riders sit directly behind me as the only passenger. It freaks me out a little.

  I really don't care who sits up front and have never had an issue with a person who booked the ride getting mad at me for their friend sitting up front. I do prefer though that if there is space in the back that the passengers fill the back space first before sitting up front as I do use the front seat as a place for a few of my belongings.
